Manuskrip Buddha 'Pancaraksa' abad ke-11 dalam aksara Pala. Ini adalah teks 'dharani' tentang mantra, manfaat, dan ritual dewi.
Dharani (Devanagari: धारणी, IAST: dhāraṇī) adalah darasan Buddhis, kode mnemonik, puji-pujian, bacaan atau mantra yang biasanya terdiri dari frasa Sanskerta atau Pali. Dharani dipercaya sebagai pelindung dan memiliki kekuatan untuk mendatangkan pahala bagi umat Buddha, terutama aliran Mahāyāna. Dharani merupakan bagian utama dari literatur Buddhis yang bersejarah.[1][2][3] Darasan ini berakar dalam literatur Vedic Sanskrit,[4] dan banyak yang ditulis dalam skrip Sanskerta seperti aksara Siddham[5] serta ditransliterasikan ke dalam syair berbahasa Mandarin, Korea, Jepang dan lainnya.[6][7][8]
